New blackbook - button click etc

Let me start by saying I love macs. I had an ibook for 2 years with no problems (well apart from a hard drive failure after 3 months) and now I have just bought a 2.4 blackbook.

So the first one was great apart from the keys which were not that sensitive - so it went back. I have now spent a day transferring files and wiping he old machine and have two gripes that I want you guys to help me out with.

The first is a clicking mouse button. What do I mean? Well if you scroll like I do with my finger resting on the button normally it is silent. But mine clicks as I glide over the top of it. I have read a couple of posts which say use compressed air but this is brand new. Is this an issue - am I driving myself mad?

The second point is the DVD drive. It works - no problem but when I open the mac it makes a much louder - mechanical - noise than my older book. Is this something to be wary of or is it ok?

I don't have the will power to change again so wanted to know your thoughts.

 

The DVD sound is not too much of a worry - yes it just sounds cheap!

The clicking is strange. I clearly sounds like.. well a click - it is not really high pitched I don't think?

Sounds like it is rubbing on something underneath but just a little plastiky click. Bad example I know.

Anyone got any thoughts?

 

That's it. As you move your finger along the button it gives a light click. Almost like my mouse click but a little quieter and you are not actually pressing the button.

This is a pain. On one hand I feel an idiot going back into the apple shop to complain about this but on the other hand I have just spent £950 and want something that works the way it is supposed to.

Also the wiping the hard drive and moving data thing is a real pain.

Anyone been to apple with this and they told you what it is or if it will lead to problems later on - probably just as my applecare runs out?

 

Unbelievable! It's stopped - maybe applecare have secret blog detectors and fixed my computer overnight. Whatever happened it is pretty much gone - just a small click on one side now but I can live with that.
